i recetly tried some beats to, and they sounded so bad, really muddy bass, they are so overpriced. And these, well i doubt anyone with sense will buy these, even at half the price, the SQ just doesnt justify it. I'm staying away from the beats for the rest of my life, and will willingly help anyone who wants to buy them to not buy them. I wouldnt give my money to monster for something this terrible, they must make millions with the beats, just because of the label.

Yeah, it really is kind of appalling. But at least their Turbine line is quite redeeming - they sound quite good, from what I hear. I think it's actually a good thing that a popular brand makes headphones that are actually good, at least people won't be getting as ripped off. Of course there are often better things for the price, but what's one to do...

I doubt they look anywhere near that good in real life. dont forget that we are all looking at a group of highly controlled and photoshoped images. Hell, its entirely possible that thats actually a 3D model we are all looking at >_>

Well I'd certainly be disappointed if I bought a $1000 headphone that looked like somebody had a little too much fun with a can of spray paint. :P

...the chrome sr325is are steel with a chrome finish, its just buffed the dipped in a chrome finish until its shiny and sleek, that's how they chrome things.

The thing is, the Beats are plastic. To do that they'd have to make a mould of each plastic piece, cast them in steel then plate them in chrome. If they really did that, then that's where the price comes from. But I'm not sure if they'd go that far...

Remoulding them with another material might change their sound signature completely....

if that is the case this is the biggest scam in the world for headphones. i feel sorry for whoever buys it and it breaks on them after a few months.

ps: the beats fan page on facebook blocked user comments because people were complaining about broken products and telling the truth about how over priced they are. i think monster products are best left avoided.
